I grow as much of my food as i possible can on my own private property. There is simply no better water than rainwater to help your vegetables, flowers, shrubs, and trees survive! Free from contaminants and chlorine found in the municipal water supply, rainwater is pure nourishment. I had these guys make my rainwater harvesting system.

Health and wellness company, Melaleuca, was certified green 25 years ago, and manufactures their own completely non-toxic home and personal health wellness products that have changed lives all over the world. Melaleuca brings together the best of science and nature, and the products are significantly less expensive than health food store and/or retail products.

There are some wonderful and important concepts incorporated here, and if people even picked one or 2 it would make an amazing difference. Also, people need more specific and in-dept things they can do to their home to make it both green and energy/money saving. This should be a help for that.

Thanks for the great list. I would like to add PeopleTowels to your paper section. They are pocket-sized personal hand towels for using instead of paper towels in public restrooms, which are used once and then discarded. You can buy them online at http://www.peopletowels.com.

Great resource to all of us ‘greenies’. I would like to also mention a national free website that facilitates the resuse of commercial and consumer items in an effort to keep them out of the landfill. Check out http://takemeimFREE.com
We can make the world a better place if we all work together.

I would like to share some information about products that were green long before “Going green” was a buzz word! There really is more to “going green” than what has been discussed here. Most people don’t consider the harmful effects caused from toxic ingredients found in most personal care products and cleaning products. As you read the ingredient lables ask yourself if cancer is lurking in your bathroom. Going green also means cancer prevention. By all means save the planet, recycle, reduce pollution but also protect yourself and your family from the harmful effects of toxic ingredients.

Yes; great list, thanks!

However, also on Item 3 – you mention “When your incandescent light bulbs stop working, replace them with …” etc. It annoys me when I hear people say this. Don’t wait for the old bulbs to stop working people; it will start saving carbon emissions *as soon as* you change your old bulbs, so DO IT NOW! This is worth more than the carbon emissions associated with the ‘waste’ of throwing away a working bulb. A CFL or LED bulb will also start saving you money as soon as you put them in.

There is no environmental OR economic reason I’m aware of that means you should wait until your incandescent light bulbs stop working, as you state.

Please could you either change your text, or clarify why you’ve written this??!
